Service Dog Is So Excited Seeing His Favorite Toy Has Come To Life

Ever since this sweet dog named Atlas entered Julian Gavino's life, things have never been better. Gavino, who uses a wheelchair, has come to rely on Atlas' training as a service animal to help make performing everyday tasks a little easier.

Recently, Gavino thought it would be nice to reward Atlas' exceptional service by giving him the surprise of a lifetime — arranging a visit with a living version of his Pluto toy. So, over the weekend, they headed to where the real-life Pluto lives, at Disney World, in Florida.

Atlas couldn't have been more excited to meet his hero.

It was a special moment for Gavino, too — being able to give joy to the dog who's added so much to his life.

"I love to see Atlas have fun," Gavino said. "He deserves it after working so hard. Some days he works really long hours so he needs that type of downtime. It’s so important."
